Saved games with FOTRSU 1.1 will not load

prozac919 · 05-31-20, 04:48 PM

I did the 1.1 upgrade to Fall of the Rising Sun Megamod. Now my saved games keep crashing the program when I try to load them. Is there a fix for this or am I the only one with this problems. Yes it is a clean install. Yes I deleted the SH4 documents folder. Yes I have installed and unistalled 4 times (everything SH4 and the FOTRSU mod). Yes I have the LAA app. Any help would be appreciated.

It's not just you.

Some workarounds:
a) hot starts - start another patrol from a successful save, play for a few minutes, then try starting the game you wanted. Historically it's worked on stock and a megamod; perhaps it will work here.

b) forked paths - load the replay of your patrol, choose the time as close to your desired restart point as possible (may require multiple attempts to find a working point), and start from there. Warning: this may disrupt the time vs. daylight relationship.

c) full system restarts - sometimes help.

it sounds like you need to delete your savefile folder. yes, the whole thing. blow it away.
the first time you run FOTRSU it will rebuild itself properly.

What seems to work is to reload from the autosave at the start of the mission at the port. Let it play for a minute or two and then reload the save I want. This does mess up the time of day tho. And I also did not get credit for my next kill afterwards.

Old savegames used before 1.1 are not compatible, that's written in the mod page. You need to delete your savegame folder to ensure a troublefree play. Just starting a new career is not enough, your new career files may still use old files, that's why before starting new carreer you need to wipe the savegame folder (you can keep the grafic and player settings cfg files, but that's all).

everyone please read my original thread. I deleted the saved games from documents before I did the install. Everyone offering tips keeps saying that I needed to do this which I did.

If it's not that, you better post in the FOTRSU thread, you will find first-quality answers there. I cannot reproduce your problem since I have 1.1, everything working ok on my system.
